Cool Off Strategies

July 17, 2013 by Marian Buck-Murray Leave a Comment


It’s hot, hot, hot!  Here in NJ, as in so many other areas, it has been an extraordinarily hot summer.  During a heat wave,  it’s very easy to become dehydrated.  And, prolonged dehydration can lead to serious illness.

To avoid dehydration — cool off and rehydrate — frequently.

Seasonal fruits and vegetables are perfect for cooling down an over-heated body. As always, Nature knows just what we need. Load up on farmer market goodies, treat yourself to a summer of vegetable salads and stir-fries. Keep it cool, and minimize cooking time.

Despite the lure of out-door grilling, it’s best to limit cooking at high temperatures. Typical barbecue foods such as hamburger, hot dogs, and steak are slow to digest and can raise body temperature. Burnt foods are carcinogenic. Lightly grilled veggies and fish are tasty alternatives.

6 Keep-it-Cool-&-Hydrated Tips:

  1. Go Green. Green vegetables, green drinks, and green seaweed are all light, cooling, and cleansing
  2. Eat your juice. Water-rich melons, cucumbers, lettuce, celery, summer squash, citrus, peaches and nectarines are juicy and cooling
  3. Add flavor with lemon and mint. Keep on hand to add quick cool flavor to salads, beverages, veggies, grains, and fish.
  4. Keep hydrated. Drink water – lots of it. If you don’t like plain water, try adding a fresh squeeze of lemon or lime. Herbal teas and coconut water are also hydrating. Caffeine and alcohol are dehydrating.
  5. Take the load off of your digestion — Eat light and eat less. Meats, dairy products, and processed foods are slow-to-digest, and can raise your body-temperature. Fish, fruits, and vegetables are quick to digest.
  6. Cool Your Breath — Here’s a breath I learned from yoga teacher, Jane Bentley. Stick out your tongue, and curl it, length-wise. Breath deeply through your curled tongue, breath out through your nose. Continue this breath for 1-2 minutes.

 

Stay Cool!

What my clients say:

I started working with Marian over four years ago when I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages. It was an extremely vulnerable and traumatic time and I was lucky to find Marian through a friend’s recommendation. I had never done anything besides talk therapy previously and I was unfamiliar with EFT but I knew I needed something different. Marian educated me about EFT and its benefits. She tailored each session to my unique needs depending on what was going on for me emotionally and also used visualizations and breathwork. These are skills that I  also used on my own outside of our sessions. Marian is extremely skilled, grounding, empathetic and insightful. Even when I didn’t know what I needed, she listened and intuitively knew what to do. Her guidance helped me heal and move forward in my quest to be a mother. Our work together has truly been transformative for me and I continue to value our work now that I’m a new mother and am faced with new challenges.

THANK YOU.  I'm sure you must hear testimonials all the time, but just your presence, voice and spirit make a huge difference in the way I think and do things - and I change! It's really a miracle, and you are the catalyst. Your guidance is invaluable.

~D.G.

We have been honored to have Marian’s presence at our Company to learn more about stress reducing techniques like tapping and heart breath meditations.  Marian empowered many employees to utilize such an accessible technique to help manage emotions in the corporate setting.

Thank you so much, Marian!  I have held such appreciation in my heart for you and for the powerful work you have done with me.  I want to come see you for some more matrix reimprinting and EFT.  The more I expand the more I see. And I see more opportunities to release old ways and adopt new patterns that will serve my fullest expression of my soul's journey.

Thank you for agreeing to speak at NAO Wellness! I loved hearing your story, it’s so captivating and inspiring.  The feedback from the workshop was amazing – participants said it was transformative, that the energy in the room completely shifted, and more. I was truly blown away, I’m still feeling all the good vibes. You are such a gift.

~ Nikki Ostrower, Founder and Principal Nutritionist at NAO Wellness.

Thank you so much for the session yesterday. It’s so freeing to feel grounded and energetically unblocked at the same time. You’ve been such an incredible guide and support this past year. I’m astounded by how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come.

~Diana F.

Our session was incredible. I’m still in absolute awe at how quickly you led me to the core issues that were tangling me up. So often I would feel the impact of the inner critical voice on my emotions (I’d FEEL depressed, overwhelmed, stuck, anxious)…but I never knew what the core limiting beliefs exactly were. That you exposed them so effortlessly amazes me. I’m blown away by how good I feel – truly it is like I’m breathing deeper, feeling lighter, clearer– an everyday-kind-of joy just feels so much more accessible right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work- I can’t wait to continue further with you!
